Jenner and His Great Discovery.

Although Jenner was ~ years old be-
fore he made vaccination known to the
world, the subject had attracted his
attention when only youthful appren-

WINGED that the current methods of treat
ing cow-pox and smallpox We're capable
of improvement and ne set himself to
study the nature of the disease. But for
many years after his opinions were made
known to the medical faculty they were
contemptuously secuted He had first of
all to prove, contrary to the prevalent be-
lief, that what was called coW-pop was
not a certain preventive of smallpox
Then he had ito trace out the nature of
the difference in the diseases to which
cows are subject, and to ascertain which
of them possessed the protective virtue
against smallpox.
After repeated failures he made the
grand discovery that it is only in GER
tain condition of the pustule that the
virus is capable of impartng it's protect
i've power to the human constitution" 1t
was on the 18th of May, 1896, that he first
put his theory to the test by transferring
cowpox by inOccuiatiOn from one human
being to the other. 1t was two Years

VIII water-Color Pictures Fade9

The much-discussed subject of the per-
manence of water-color pictures seems
now now TO be pretty effectually disposed Of
Inc arguments of those English artists
VINO TOOK the ground that water colors
would fade occasioned some uneasiness
and alarm among the lovers of those
charming pictures Sir James Linton.
VINO Is champion of this graceful school
OF painting, has settled the question by
getting together a large number of the
works of old artists, some of them
painted half a century ago, which vet
snow no signs of any deterioration. It is
not easy to get around evidence of this
KIND, and the friends of the water-color
are well satisfied with the result.-Chi-

The sFresh Air Fund" ChiIdren

We have heard great deal in the city
about the Fresh Air Fund, and what a
fine charity it is to take the city children
from their homes in the great tenement
houses to roam awhile and pick flowers in
the green fields and broad pastures of the
country. Most poetical do the agents
grow when soliciting the farmers to take
for visit two or three of these children
who have never breathed anything but
the smoke impreguated air to be found in
narrow streets and alleys. At a gathering
of the farmers and their wives the other
evening, | was amused to hear their YER
sion of the good which results to these
theoretically grateful children. The re-
cent requests of the agent of the Fresh
Air Fund were under discussion.
wall, l don't like to refuse 'em," said
one kindly man.
A bright, sharp-eyed woman replied:
Neither did | once but after three years
experience | have concluded that the chill
dren care about as much for the fresh air
of the country as l do for grass to eat.
You can't get them out to pick DAISIES and
buttercups; they persist in staying in our
woodshed to play jackstOnes, and mighty
little fresh air is there in that woodShed."
Il left the men to attend to the oats"
said sun-bronzed man, "and took the
children at my house to ride, thinking
they might enjoy it. L put 'em in the
back of the spring wagon, and after go
ing about mile 1 looked to see what
made 'em so quiet, expecting they were
overcome by the beauty of the scenery,
and bless mo if the whole four of 'em
wasn't fast asleep"
well, can't see for the life of me-"
continued a shrill-voiced woman, "why
the city folks can't entertain some of our
children We have GOT hosts of 'er1 w hO

would feel it great privilege to see the
fine buildings, thu .ctures, and the stat
ues, the street cars, and the fountains,
which, of course, they have no idea of. l
believe turn about would be fair"
These remarks were received with a
good-natured laugh, which ended all fur
ther discussion on the subject.

To brand upon another hearth
Hast thou not feared thy soul must ever

Sadly unknown to those most dear to
thee?
doubt not, angels, when they go
On missions they deem far away,
Look back upon our Universe
And see, far down their starry way,
The loving armsSf Sirius and the Sun
So close embracing that they seem as
one.
IT'S so we learn to value love:
Far up youths starry path we see
Hearts seeming to unite in one.
But, oh, vast infinity
OF space impossible disparts them far,
And makes each soul as lonely as star.

Consul General Phelan in his report for
the year 1886, says that the yield of the Nova
Scotia fisheries for the year was about
$5,0O0,0O0. Until November there were very
few mackerel inside the three mile limit but
in that month the local fishermen caught a
good many. The prosecution of the shore
herring fisheries, which previously had been
a source Of large revenue to the people of
eastern Nova Scotia, was entirely abandoned
owing to the destruction of the market b,
the refusal of the Canadian government to
allow American vessels to enter Canadian
waters. The losses entailed upon the Nova
Seotians by the refusal of this and other SIM
liar privileges amounted in 1886 to half a
million dollars. The value of the New
Brunswick catch is estimated at $4,000. 600
and Of Prince Edward Island about S7OO. 200
or 100000 less than in 1885. There was an
increase In mackerel and decrease in lob
sters. The latter were so small that it took
six and one half to fill one pound can. and
as the total number of cans put up was
3,6l6,7S4, 23,500,0O0 Holsters were caught. a
waste which the Consul General saws no
fishery can stand. The total product of the
three provinces, according to Mr.. Phelan's
estimates, amounts to $7,7O0,0OO, but the
estimate Of the Canadian government which
OF course has a motive for making the best
showing possible, will swell it several mil
lions higher.

The Hon. Samuel J. Randall is out in Hi
nois addressing agricultural fairs. and the
Hon. William r. Morrison wants to 90 back
to Congress. These two facts at first blush
seem to have no connection, but when we
look little deeper we see that they are by
no means as isolated from one another as
they appear. The Hon. William r. Morri-
son is an apostle of free trade while the Hon.
Samuel ). Randall is a preacher of protec-
ton. Now If the Hon. Samuel j. Randall
takes advantage of his opportunities to sow
tares in Mr.. Morrison's political field while
performing in the guise of an agricultural
lecturer, as he may easily do, Mr.. Morrison
is likely to find his crop of votes next fall al
together too small for his purpose. Mr..
Morrison should warn Mr.. Randall out of
his territory forthwith.

The blindness of some of the most devoted
Of President Cleveland's Mugwump friends
is most remarkable, hardly explicable in
fact, except on the theory that it is willfnl
blindness. That the Democratic party is not
party of reform but an organization domi-
mated by the reactionary elements in the
country is not new fact. 1t was known
long before this week, when the Democrats
OF Massachusetts, threw off the transparent
mask which they began to wear sometime
about the year 1884; it was known long be-
fore the Independent revolt in MARYLAND

the party, in the cases Of Stone and Benton,
compelled Mr.. Cleveland to go back on his

not to participate in political work in the

Curtis described the Democratic party as
"very hungry and very thirsty its reaction

though many of the native sheep now kept
in Waldo county are just as good. In regard
to breeds Of cows the Holstein or Dutch COW
stands far ahead as heavy mixer and is
more desirable for the milk men of Massa-
chusetts, though not so good for butter as
the Jersey. They attain to a larger size, are
very quiet, give choice milk in large quanti-
ties, and are conceded the best cheese cows
in the world. IT is our opinion that if these
stole animals were kept at home instead of
being thrown on a market where they bring
very little, and our hay and grain were fed
to them intellgently more money would be
made and very much more satisfaction gained
in keeping up the fertility of our farms than

Market Gardening and Small Fruit Growing.
Since the city has spread as to take in
all the old time gardener S lands and convert
them into additions to the city, it begins to
be a mooted question where our supply of
garden vegetables is to come from. Certain
it is that new men and new lands must be
devoted to this very profitable business Of
market gardening.
Realizing the situation, have bought the
hf of NV or of sec 10, ~, e, and have
sub-divided it into acre lots and propose to
sell on reasonable terms and at fair prices to
gardeners This 50 acres of land is situated
on Hydraulic ave, only two miles south of
the corporate line of the city, and is rich
valley land, sub-irrigated by the big river:
The soil is the very best and will yield good
crops without rain. No better land for

found in Kansas.
